The blurb:
Captain Rourke. He's a former Navy officer, a brooding, gorgeous treasure hunter who lives his life on the ocean. I'm a small-town girl from Nebraska who's barely even seen the sea. But when a mystery disease attacks my sister, I must team up with Rourke to find the sunken ship that holds the cure. He's a loner, determined to push everyone away…but when he looks at me, he melts the clothes right off my body.
To save my sister, I'll have to enter a whole new world of smugglers, sunken gold and deadly storms. In the close confines of Rourke's boat, there's no way I can ignore that smoldering gaze, or the way my legs go weak whenever he takes hold of me. He claims he's no hero yet he protects me like no other…can I save him from the pain that's tearing him apart? I'm from the prairies; he's from the sea. But I need to learn his world, fast, because others want what's on that sunken ship…and they'll kill both of us to get it.
My thoughts:
I love Helena Newbury's books, and this one was no exception. Rourke started off as the untouchable treasure hunter – closed off, and full of secrets, while Hannah is the naive country girl who's scared of the sea. The beginning was a bit of instalove (which I totally believe in because it happened to me) but I know some aren't so keen. The story was pretty farfetched but fast-paced and fun, and both characters were easy to like and grew throughout the book. I'd definitely recommend this one to romantic suspense fans.
Captain Rourke is available to buy on Amazon and also through Kindle Unlimited.
Captain Rourke sounds like a book I woukd enjoy reading. I like stories about strong characters.
Sounds like an interesting book
I LOVE the cover & am getting ready to read the book 🙂 As a treasure hunter myself (land based) I love to read about other treasure hunters:)
I’d buy this just for the cover alone.
Incredible Post.
